As Nightmare Night comes to Ponyville, Twilight and the other girls are tracked down by Pinkie Pie, who is ecstatic to tell them that they've all been invited to her uncle's manor for one of his world-famous Nightmare Night parties. They meet old and new faces as everyone begins to mingle.
But late that night, a horrible laugh and a bloody scene awaken the guests from their slumber, and they find themselves trapped inside of the house, at the mercy of a psychotic killer. As more and more ponies disappear and slip into this psycho's clutches, it's up to Pinkie Pie and her faithful sidekick Twilight Sparkle to solve the Case of the Brindlehoof Killer.
A dark comedy murder mystery, with lots of ponies and far more characters than Da Rules say I can list. Rated Teen for pony death, blood, and one count of irreverent mishandling of a corpse.

reminds me of that one story about 'U.N.Owen'
This is going to be so awesome, and I'm guessing Pinkie's cousin is Octavia right?
(I was going to make a fanfic about her being that but it looks as if you beat me to the punch) 
Seems a solid start. More adventures for Detective Pinkie should be worth seeing
738714 Good guess!
Pompadour is probably the butler, that's it I know who did it! (it's always the butler)
Ah I can see why Pinkie Pie likes her uncle so much, he's a prankster just like her.
I can tell this story is gonna be a good one.
And it begins...
I can't believe Fluttershy gave Angel Bunny wine even if it was only one sip, I don't think you're suppose to give bunnies alcholic beverages of any sort.
Also although it's nice to see Carrot Top takes no nonsense from anypony I think she was kind of rude to Fluttershy.
And it looks like Rainbow Dash just got on Soarin's bad side with all her pestering, she'll be lucky if Soarin still puts in a good word for her.
Octavia read Pinkie's diary once, wonder what was in there?
you sir know how to balance creepiness and comedy well. i give you a mus... NO! I shall give you a
for the coolness/epicness of your story
I've been having one hell of a time trying to plot this story out, and figure out how to pace it with all these different groups running around. But I've finally got an order down!
So yeah, it's not going to be a major part of the story--skippable, if you insist--but Spike reading this book'll be a tool to help the reader solve the mystery, possibly even before the characters do. So unfortunately it'll show up a few more times. But you won't be forced to sit through EVERY chapter, I promise

Ya might want to know there's already an And Then There Were None or whatever style story called Whodunit.
813007 Ok.
Didn't know about it, but it's not the most uncommon of phrases so I am not too surprised.
Well so far we haven't seen any clues but well who knows what the groups will find.
I don't know what possessed me to start writing two pony fics at once, not to mention non-pony-related things, but I think I've settled into a good rotation on them for updates.
I'm feeling so conflicted about this one, because I personally enjoy writing it, but I keep getting madder at myself every time I re-read a chapter and finding the little mistakes I made. But so long as people enjoy it, I guess.
oh shit... Fluttershy's angry
all hell will be unleashed
Oh no the murderer got Angel, even he didn't deserve that!
Also
Princess Luna: "Fluttershy you need to be more assertive."
Fluttershy: (Runs up to Carrot Top and starts poking at her) "Bebeep!"
Princess Luna: (Facehoof's) "No not INSERTIVE!"
(Spongebob reference FTW!)
933610 Beats me.
Let's just hope it's confusing like I intended it, and not just confusing because I forgot to add something. I've been doing that a lot, and it makes me sad.
I think Nicodemus might have faked his death and he was orginally planning on using a cloaking spell but had to rule it out due to the spell.
Also ah the old rotating bookcase whenever there's a horror or mystery story there's always a rotating bookcase just waiting for some poor sap to trigger it.
And lastly to correct an earlier comment of mine
Princess Luna: "Be assertive."
Fluttershy: "(Runs up and starts poking at Carrot Top) Bebeep!"
Princess Luna: "(Facehooves) Not INSERTIVE!"
more
813007>>813935 Now now, ProtheanBrony, it's not like a 'Whodunit' style story is in the realm of only one author. I'm glad to see the genre get some attention! I absolutely adore mysteries!
Its funny, cause the name of this chapter is that golden ticket thing, and I was listening to this when I found it.
